Officers found an empty pizza box, numerous empty beer bottles, and evidence of seasickness onboard the multimillion-dollar boat.

Senator Leland Yee Assassination Threat Suspect Arrested

SACRAMENTO – Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco/San Mateo) issued the following statement regarding a recent threat made against him in response to his legislative efforts to end gun violence. A CHP investigation has led to the arrest of a Santa Clara County man and the confiscation of bomb-making materials and illegal weapons.
 
“First, I want to thank the CHP and the various law enforcement agencies who are working on this case. Four weeks ago, I received an email to my Senate account detailing a very explicit threat on my life. The author of the email specifically stated that if I did not cease our legislative efforts to stop gun violence that he would assassinate me in or around the Capitol. He stated that he was a trained sniper and his email detailed certain weapons he possessed. This threat was unlike any other I had ever received. It was not a racist rant on my ethnicity or culture, but instead it was very deliberate and specific. As a psychologist, I was deeply concerned by the calculating nature of this email. My Chief of Staff immediately forwarded the email to the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the CHP to investigate. As you know, law enforcement made an arrest on Tuesday and executed a search warrant of the suspect’s home in which they found illegal weapons and bomb-making materials. I have no other details regarding this case and all such questions should be directed to the CHP. With that said, I want to make it crystal clear – these threats and any others will not deter me and my colleagues from addressing the critical issues surrounding gun violence. This case is very troubling and only further demonstrates the need to address this epidemic. Again, I want to thank the CHP for their swift action and I want to thank my family, staff, and constituents for all their support.”
